Explanation:

The first usage of the term 'scalawag' can be traced back to $1839$ which was used to refer to people who had an ill reputation. But by $1862$ during the Reconstruction Era, the Southern Democrats in the  South of America used this term to refer to white southerners who had sided with the Republicans and favored the Republican policies.
